"Oh! yes, I am a child of chance, and this adventurer is just the husband for me." Je suis une fille d'aventure, et cet aventurier est bien le mari qu'il me faut. "At least you will wait until he's a widower," retorted Jenkins tranquilly. "And in that case you may have to wait a long while, for his Levantine looks to be in excellent health." Felicia Ruys became livid. "He is married?"
"Ci git cet Ecossais celebre, Ce calculateur sans egal, Qui, par les regles de l'algebre, A mis la France a l'Hopital." His brother, William Law, who had been concerned with him in the administration both of the Bank and the Louisiana Company, was imprisoned in the Bastile for alleged malversation, but no guilt was ever proved against him.
One more, I must mention, her answer to Guido's insistent, "Cet homme t'a-t-il prise?"... "J'ai dit la vérité.... Il ne m'a pas touchée," sung with dignity, with force, with womanliness, and yet with growing impatience and a touch of sadness. Let me quote Pitts Sanborn: "It is easy to be flippant about Miss Garden's singing.
It will be very remarkable if similar appearances are always found upon the junction of the alpine with the level countries. Such an appearance, I am inclined to think, may be found in the Val d'Aoste, near Yvrée. M. de Saussure describes such a stone as having been employed in building the triumphal arch erected in honour of Augustus. "Cet arc qui étoit anciennement revêtu de marbre, est construit de grands quartiers d'une espèce assez singulière de poudingue ou de grès
I walk'd up close to the table, and giving first such a look at the books as to make him conceive I knew what they were, I told him I had come without any one to present me, knowing I should meet with a friend in his apartment, who, I trusted, would do it for me: it is my countryman, the great Shakespeare, said I, pointing to his works et ayez la boute, mon cher ami, apostrophizing his spirit, added I, de me faire cet honneur-la.
He has the life of a regiment in his ten fingers. What astonishes me is that he does not make fury in that England of yours that Lapland! Je ne puffs me passer de cet homme! He offends me, he trifles, he outrages, he dares permit himself to be indignant. Bon! we part, and absence pleads for him with the eloquence of Satan. I am his victim. Does he, then, produce no stir whatever in your England?
Nor was there a musket nor a grain of powder to be found in all the parish; the enemy had robbed and broken everything: we were therefore forced, day after day, to see how the stags and the roes, the hares and the wild boars, et cet., ran past us, when we would so gladly have had them in our bellies, but had no means of getting at them: for they were too cunning to let themselves be caught in pit-falls.
She was joined there by M. Langis, to whom she said, in a good-humoured tone: "Always grave and melancholy, my dear Camille! When will you cease your drooping airs? I cannot understand you. I do my best to be agreeable to you, to settle matters satisfactorily. Nothing seems to cheer you. You make me think of the hare in La Fontaine: "'Cet animal est triste, et la Crainte le ronge."
They need only bring her up before the court, and in good sooth she would not hold her tongue within her teeth, but that all men should marvel at her confession; that such a court as that was a laughing-stock to her, and that she spat, salva venia, upon the whole brotherhood, et cet. Upon hearing this I once more felt a strong hope, and rose to go to old Lizzie.
"Dans cet etat affreux, que faire? Mon devoir." Victoire courageously proceeded to Mad. de Fleury's, and desired to see her. "D'abord c'est impossible madame is dressing to go to a concert;" said Francois. "Cannot you leave your message?"
